β¦ Synopsis
The importance of data modelling and data-base design based on software engineering techniques is discussed with particular consideration of applications in high energy physics experiments. As an example, the approach chosen by the ALEPH collaboration is presented in some detail. A survey of data-base applications used in various experiments showed that the requirements are almost identical. Therefore, a proposal is made to design general-purpose packages including tools for data exchange and documentation.
